Polymeric micelles of octenylsuccinated corn dextrin as vehicles to solubilize curcumin

Hydrophobized polysaccharides are promising substrates for the micellar entrapment of lipophilic food ingredients. In this study, we investigated the solubilization of curcumin with octenylsuccinated corn dextrin micelles. A Box-Behnken design was used to determine the dependence of the apparent solubility of curcumin on the operation parameter (the stirrer input power, IP) and the structural parameters (molecular weight, Mw, and degree of...
